New Cubs mascot "Clark"

[rookieaddict]

Seriously? I am far from a Cubs fan; but why cheapen your brand by adding a mascot 100+ years into your franchise?
Here he is


Looks like Afghanistanimation to me

Did they get Broken Lizard to draw that up?

This notice is required by law.

Oh the shame. I saw the backwards baseball cap and immediately thought of the Simpson's episode where they try to get rid of Itchy and Scratchy and replace him with the "cool" Poochie.

Maybe the Cubs are trying to get something "lucky" ?

I'm so glad someone else thought of this immediately. I don't think I'd have a problem with it if it was actually Chevy Chase doing the Clark Griswold character.

I don't know if this is funny or sad. Leaning towards sad.

That can't be legit

EDIT: Well, it's legit. I can't believe any news team let that through, but I applaud them if it was intentional

Someone on Deadspin edited the pic from the release. They posted it on Deadspin, and it became pretty popular. My guess is that it was so popular that Google Images saw it as a pretty relevant hit. They go to prep the news story for TV and picked the wrong one.

Funny stuff.
